is that for one class or two? Mine charged $60 for two classes. Michaels has per session classes for like $15...i am not clear on exactly how those run but i gathered that they were for people needing help with patterns and such. Not sure if they are for brand new knitters.

Gosh, Nicky Epstein is going to be at one of our LYS and that class is only $60! This LYS is general around $40 for regular classes. Now, we have some other LYS that are faaaaarrrrrrr too expensive. But, the LYS that I use is very reasonable on class rates; not as inexpensive as our Michael's; but it's generally more indept classes like socks or entrelac, etc. I'm still bummed :( that I missed the entrelac class.

JoAnn's generally charges $20-$30 for classes (at least two sessions per class) and then you buy your project supplies. Is the project included in the class fee? You should ask to see the supply list and then calculate what your true cost would be.

$75 would be pretty expensive if that's just the fee to take the class. You would think that they'd want to keep their price low so that they could turn more people into knitting addicts.

yeah i would hope that the supplies would be thrown in. i think by the time i was done with my first class, i was paying....i don't know i think it was about $80. Of course i chose the most expensive yarn in the joint! and she gave me clover circs as my first needles...i am not sad about it though...money well spent by my estimation!

speaking circs....i started going through all the sets i was finding around my house this weekend....SHEEEESH i have a lot of pairs of the exact same needles....same length and everything...lol. i reeeeeeeeeally need to keep track of what i have and if they have a project on them or not!
